You may have seen over the last year (or 4!) that we host an annual Ambassador Programme, whereby we work with a selection of fantastic bloggers to experience a Mark Warner holiday and give genuine feedback, reviews & help us reach new audiences.
This year, we’re mixing this up a little and inviting different influencers, including those who focus on social media and vlogs as well as blogs, to work with us. We’re expanding our ambassador programme to lifestyle and travel influencers, solo travellers, couples and friends, but we are still keen to work with family bloggers.
This is why we are still opening up one spot for you to apply for, whatever your style/ content type. We love giving you the chance to apply to work with us, because each of you have something different and unique to offer and we have really enjoyed working with bloggers over the past few years.

What’s in it for us?
As you know more and more brands are approaching influencers with your time and content becoming more in demand. So there are no pretences that we are not one of those brands, however we hope we can overlay this with a personal relationship and have some fun while doing it.

Bloggers:
Three blog posts
One post for the Mark Warner blog

A series of 3 vlogs/ videos – before the holiday, during the holiday and after the holiday.
Social media influencers:
Sharing a photo each day of your holiday, on as many platforms as possible.
Instagram Stories – showcase your holiday on stories. Make this as fun as possible and then post this as a highlight on your Instagram profile.
